Please note the following article I just posted to the blog.
1) If you want to know when a new posting is made to the blog, there is a good way to find out: consider subscribing to "Atom" feeds which can be found at the bottom of the right column. I think by doing so you will get an e-mail intimation about any new posts that are made to this blog.
2) Also, I have put together all the articles in this blog prior to the current one ("Looking Within") along with an additional article ("Science and Spirituality -- The Teachings of UG Krishnamurti -- A Case Study") in a book and edited it with a cover page and a back cover picture. If you are interested in an electronic copy of it please write to me at the following e-mail address and I will be glad to mail you one. (That way I would also know who is reading my blog page!)

That entity - 'within' should be looked for. Hold on to 'That' who is doing all these exercises. Ramana Maharshi and UG stood for the same thing. just ways were different.
Ramana Maharshi says - "That which is making the enquiry is the ego, the 'I' about which the enquiry is made is also the ego. As the result of enquiry, ego ceases to exist and only the Self is found to exist - your natural state - which you will not even know or bother to even check if it is the natural state, for you 'I' o the ego is dead here.
Therefore the 'I' or the entity that searches looses. This is what even UG said, there is No Way Out for you.
You mentioned "when the problem disappeared on this occasion, there was no 'within' or 'without', nor anything like looking within. Who is it that is telling this? please see this - this is the entity that searched, is speculating. Where from it sprang up?
To whom do these thoughts arise?
Whence does the 'entity' or the 'I' to which these thought come, arise?
You are bang on when you said - "there are no 'external' or 'internal' objects objects as such" please see who is the entity who is saying this, or the one that has come to this conclusion.
The religious scriptures prescribe looking, focusing attention on the Ajna Chakra while meditating, infact when you look at the Ajna Chakra you are actually trying to looking within - at yourself, you are attempting something that could destroy yourself - looking within. The eyeballs are attempting to look at each other, when this happens a calamity of sorts can be expected or the death experience
The reality that I have come to undertand is that this entity being discussed here is the real purpose of looking within which in reality is non existent.
What ever this entity does is least interested to That. Which is why UG was so vehement against all exercises. Its a fact - No Way Out for the one that keeps doing something. This entity to whom all happens is least interested in what is being done.
all doubts will cease only when the doubter and his source have been found. Seek for the source of the doubter and you will find that he is non existent.
You can never know that 'Within' Its impossible - No Way Out, This can never find out what is that thing at all. looking within is impossible. But who is the one that is trying to look within? Who am I? By this enquiry the Enquirer is found not to be there at all.
You are That from which thoughts, ego arises. This I am not merely repeating or reproducing, I am That, for I have come to know My "I" or the "enity" own's. The answer to Who am I. the same 'I' knows about itself - Its not there at all, I am non existent - It is only to this that everything belongs. The real 'I' - am from which 'I' originated. That am I not this. That from which everything originated. The famous question that UG used to ask most people - What is it that You want? is for this entiy alone. All it wants is only futile. UG used to say 'you are just a bunch of thoughts thats all', 'you are not there'
(Contd.)
Part 2:

UG used to say 'you are just a bunch of thoughts thats all', 'you are not there'
In this having thoughts does not mean to think. Please see this as well. there is difference between thought and thinking. This knowledge is essential to the entity that does everything.
Probably all that the 'entity' needs to do is to cease being aware of everything that it is not - external. in that very moment that entity becomes extinct and that is what is the natural (state) But the 'I' will not be here to see this. It will be dead, you can never know it.
what ever description is given consciousness, Self, Realisaion, Awareness, Natural State, etc... is all given by the ego, it only means that it is still speculating. All these are only for the entity looking for it.
Here, all these are not there, Self, Realisation, Awareness, Consciousness, natural state....
Absolutely No way Out!
